Updating the chipset does not fix the stutter. DO NOT BUY THIS
- Pros: Not worth it.
- Cons: If you use the battery at all and try to play games, watch video or do any other multimedia activity this computer freezes for 1-2 seconds and makes a loud BUZZZZ noise that is extremely annoying. ASUS knows about the problem and has no solution besides replacing the vga adapter. Many people on the vip.asus forums have had their vga adapter replaced to no avail.
I own 3 of these K61 notebooks and they all have the same problem so I can safely say they all do it.
And there is no solution in sight. All of my drivers are up to date and there are absolutely no superfluous programs running in the background. When I disable the vga adapter the stuttering stops.
- Other Thoughts: This computer is a big pile of excrement and until ASUS finds a solution to the problem or replaces them with different models I'm going to write bad reviews every chance I get.
DEAR ASUS: ALL OF THEM DO IT SO PLEASE FIX IT OR REPLACE THEM WITH 3 NEW MODELS THAT HAVE A DIFFERENT VGA CARD.
A Great Value
- Pros: Well the specs are fantastic for the Price. The screen is amazing. Asus has preloaded screen settings. I prefer to use soft, which is VERY easy on the eyes. I often got headaches from computer screens and not one since I have been using this.
It runs my games well. I updated the chipset BIOS to fix the stuttering issue in intense programs. Runs Call of Duty 2 and 4 on medium settings with a steady 60-90 fps, even in smoke.
Company of Heroes is medium settings with a steady 60 fps, even when I'm blowing up the map with 16 howitzers.
Wow runs flawlessly. My brother in law plays obsessively while watching my dogs every saturday while my wife and I are at work.
I am a computer Science Student. It runs all computer applications great. It renders movies quickly for a laptop(using Sony Vegas).
- Cons: Battery life could be better. But you pay for what is in the specs.
- Other Thoughts: This laptop only comes witha 6 cell battery. Other Asus laptops I have seen with an 8 or a 9.
This is the best purchase I have made in 3 years. I am very satisfied with this laptop. The warranties that come with it from Asus are SOOOOOO awesome.
great stuff
- Pros: i like the look of the laptop its light and powerfull. it plays aion at max setting wonderfully, and every steam game ive tried.
- Cons: it did have the stutter problem every1 was talking about. but a simply chipset update and all was good. the touch pad is SUPER touchie when i you it i find myself clicking all kinds of random things
- Other Thoughts: i was so happy with the gt220m i got a gts240 for my htpc. it also rocks granted i dont do all of my gaming on my tv but its ran everything ive put on it perfectly
